Abstract

See full text

A microcontroller device on a single integrated circuit including a central processing unit, an associated data bus and an electrically-programmable nonvolatile memory is disclosed. The nonvolatile memory contains the applications program and may be remotely programmed by way of a communication port, such as a universal asynchronous, receiver/transmitter (UART) device, utilizing a separate host computer. A second nonvolatile memory is provided which contains a control program which is executed by the central processing unit for carrying out the programming of the electrically-programmable nonvolatile memory utilizing data and address information received from the host computer over the communications port.
